I am a very busy real food mama! When I am not taking care of my 6 year old, I take time to share my real food recipes on my blog, Homemade Mommy. I find the time for homemade cooking and green living because eating this way has truly changed my family’s life. Ditching processed food has helped us all to live a vibrantly healthy life! I buy organic, from family farms, local and grass-fed. I am passionate about achieving vibrant health and am happy to share tips, techniques and recipes in my eBook, The Real Food Survival Guide for Busy Moms which is an excellent resource for any busy mom (or dad) who wants to cook real food for their family but is not sure how to take the plunge.

I so want a vitamix machine! These are amazing and I have been going to the demonstrations for a year. Just beyond my personal budget right now. I make everything from scratch and can use all the help I can get.

I would so love to have a Vitamix because my mom will probably never afford to buy me one and I think I could create so many things a with it! I’ve always been amazed by Vitamixers and it would be a dream of mine to have one.

My husband and I make smoothies daily but would love to take it up to the next level with a Vitamix, but the cost has been prohibitive. I am told they really blend everything well, down to fruit skin and seeds. That would be amazing!!

I have also wanted a Vita mix ever since I found out about them, but the price has never been in our families budget. I would absolutely Love ,Love, Love to have a Vita Mix! It would allow me to create many more delicious, nutritious food!

I would LOVE a vitamix!!! I have a ninja right now and it can’t compare! I am going to be a new mom in Sepetember and I can’t wait to make my own baby food. the vitamix would help me with that so much! THanks for the contest! That’s awesome!!

Since finding your site and others so helpful, I’ve taken our families nutrition into my own hands. Wow, what I’ve learned (and its quite overwhelming)!!! Naturally the Vitamix is an imperative utensil to have in order to stay on this healthy path. The transition has been expensive, although I believe in the long run it will save us a lot more money…especially on health care….and we can not afford one. I’ve been praying every day to win, so I would LOVE to be the winner of the Vitamix!!

This is amazing! I have been thinking of getting a Vitamix–my 3 sisters have them–and then I stumbled across your site giving one away. I am excited to see your healthy recipes and perhaps even win :-).

We just found out my husband has a slew of health problems. I would love this to start making healthy smoothies for him (it is hard to get kale and spinach to really mix in a blender!), and from there use it for everything!

I can’t figure out how to leave a comment…sorry for the reply comment!
After becoming a mother 8 short months ago I started to investigate how to keep my daughter healthy without medication and all that bogus advice from our pediatrician (no offense to pedi’s!). One blog like after another and I found yours! I have sought advice from you on several occasions (without you knowing, I’m sure). I’m very thankful for all the effort you put into helping complete strangers and I can’t even imagine all the behind the scenes work that we never see! Anyway, a Vitamix would help me transition to more real foods!! That’s enough in itself but it would replace my $20 blender and allow me to create especially delicious baby foods! Thank you!

I’ve also been wanting a Vitamix for what feels like forever. I’ve been trying to eat better. My current blender is just your standard one and making fruit smoothies with greens and nuts just comes out gritty. A high speed blender would help so much.

I have wanted one of these forever – have just started juicing and my 7 year-old daughter has just expressed interest in not eating meat, so looking for ways to get more nutrients from veggies and fruits and other things into her meals (some without her knowing)!!

I have heard about these and have recently become gluten free and dairy free and corn free, we cook at home for every meal and most of the time I would love to make a yummy smoothie so it would be so great to receive one of these. thanks for the chance.

I have been dreaming of owning a Vitamix for a very long time. Winning one is the only way that will happen! I am a stay at home mother with a pre-schooler and a baby and it would make my days that much easier, and healthier!

Omg! I love to bake! I love to juice (but my juicer sucks) with a vitamix, I could do soooooooooooooo much & way faster! I just moved out with my bf & this item would revolutionize our small,& empty kitchen!

I have not owned a vitamix before but have been lusting after one for many years – it’s not in our budget to purchase. I have been trying to get healthy and working on incorporating more health foods into my daily intake; this would be amazing for making smoothies and juice extracting, along with soo many other things it can do. It would help me with my weight loss and health quest.

July is my birth month. What a great present this blender would make : ) I am trying to get myself off of a terrible sugar addiction and find that smoothies are a huge help. I am interested in trying it out for ketchup and baked goodies too. Pick me, pick me : ) Trying to go all homemade step by step and the proper tools make the job soooo much easier.

My weak blender only handles straight liquids. Haha Anything more than that, including yogurt, will make it stall. It burned a fuse twice and my sweet hubby replaced it. I use it a few times a week, so I’d LOVE to have a reliable Vitamix, especially since we’re about to have a baby and will be making our own baby food. Thanks for doing an awesome giveaway!

We were recommended one of these by a local chef and we are hoping to get one for our newly started restaurant, our chef really wants one! Plus smoothies are a big request by the kids, so it would be great for a newly launched restaurant…

This is now the 6th time I have entered a contest from my favorite bloggers for a Vitamix… I think after not being awarded this on, I may just put it on my Christmas list for hubs (with many stars, astricks and exclamation points)
******Vitamix Blender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had been using a baby bullet and wasn’t sure what more I needed to get because there are so many products out there so I been keeping an eye on what real foodies like you use to get by with on such a busy schedule I run a day home and can use all the food prep tips I need. sometimes I wish I had a helper lol

My parents got a Vitamix since the year they got married (1977) and they STILL have it and STILL use it. I’ve never owned one myself, but they tout its glories all the time and it’s *ancient*! If that isn’t great press…!

You have the most amazing information on your site and newsletter. I have been wanting one of these for a while, but just settled for my regular blender due to cost. If I win, I will be making lots of soups and will try the ketchup!

We have been changing our eating habits and are definitely to the point where we need a better machine to help with smoothies, homemade sorbet, juicing, homemade nut butters and grinding our own flour. Would love a Vitamix!

I love your blog and have found tons of useful recipes. It is so hard nowadays to sift through all the info and find what you want. So, I want to thank you for making things easier for people who are health-conscious!
And on top of all the other great stuff you do, Vitamix giveaway!!! I hope I will be the lucky winner. I have been wanting one forever, but my mean hubby won’t buy it for me:(

I have used a $20 blender for years knowing the value and quality of the Vitamix because my mother owns one. I am a single mother of two awesome kids that could never afford a Vitamix but I put healthy, clean eating at the top of the priority list for us. A Vitamix would be something else that makes good eating something my children will have a desire to engage in. Thank you! I’ll keep my fingers crossed! 😀

awesome gift! i would be sooo busy making all kinds of healthy things. im really trying to keep self & my sis’s aging with grace. & let my son reap the benefits & pass it on to his future family. thankyou.

I’ve only wished to have this item for the past couple of years, but I live on a budget like many. I’ve wanted to make pesto, gazpacho and of course..smoothies. The motor on this baby is so powerful that you probably won’t even need a food processor anymore.

My husband has high cholesterol, and we feel like the minority who are against statins. We aim to eat whole and healthy to bring down his cholesterol levels through diet (and exercise), but we have a new baby which makes food prep even more time consuming… I would love to just throw everything into the Vitamix and turn it on! Breakfast in a jiffy!

I NEED this! We have recently given up unhealthy eating and smoothies are one of the few things my kids will eat! You have been a huge inspiration in this change. I have gone for being a coke-a-holic to drinking primarily water and eating healthy. I am so eager to learn to make my own bread. This would be a God-send. Thanks!

I’ve heard of this product and just salivate about having one – but I cannot afford it since I am financially-deficient Dietetics student! I hope to get my RD in 2 years! I would absolutely love to have one in my kitchen repertoire and create so many new things (I always have ideas swimming around in my head). I feel good no matter what because I know whoever is fortunate to win this wonderful item will put it to good use and good nutritional health begins with one person at a time! Thank you for making this possible for someone!!

This would be amazing to win! I’d love to juice fruits and veggies without losing the fiber for the pulp! My family could enjoy healthy smooties and soups and ketchup (omg I need to make!) and mayo, I hope mayo would come together in this awesome Vitamix!

I have been wanting one of these since I knew about them! I use my old cheap blender everyday to make green smoothies, desert smoothies, and more… Oh how I would love to own a vitamix. The possibilities are endless <3

So funny- I saw one of these at Costco today and told my sister how much I would like one! I have always been so impressed with the power and versatility of the Vitamix, it would make a huge difference in meal prep for my family of nine.

Right now I have a cheap juicer have had it for two months and is already breaking. I don’t have a blender, have been using a cuisinart type thing for smoothies not very successfully and would really love to get a blender that wouldn’t break after two months.

I love making fresh juices & smoothies. There are many healthy combinations. We have been eating organic fruits & vegetables, less meat, using hemp oil & milk, coconut oil, and natural remedies for any ailments. Our goal is to be healthier by eating better. I had a juicer before moving to the Netherlands but gave it to a friend. Now I miss having it. I hope you can ship to the Netherlands.

Um.. This is my dream blender. My mom had one when I was growing up and little did I know how spoiled I was when I made my smoothies in highschool. Little-er did I know how much this one was not in my budget.

There are 2 items on my “would be AMAZING TO HAVE” but not in the immediate future because of budgeting list…a Vitamix and an Excalibur dehydrator. There are SOOO many amazing things I could do with this blender, making my daughter a certain hazelnut chocolate truly healthy butter would be near the top of my list, as well as batters and the most killer smoothies ever! Plus I’m sure my hubby would “borrow” it to make frozen “drinks”.

I’ve been lusting after one of these, but my in-laws bought me a kitchen aid food processor for Christmas a few years ago so the hubbs banned this purchase. I’m slowly working on talking him into it, by doing things like breaking my immersion blender (although that was an accident…).

I got progressively very sick after moving to US from Europe 12 years ago and it took me very long time to figure out that major part of my illnesses included autoimmune condition was caused by diet. I never ate fast food and thought I was doing good cooking every day but when you use food laced with pesticides, meat fed GMO grains and other GMO stuff you may as well go to Fast food restaurant. About 2 years ago I got desperate and try to research what I could on GMO issues and it all started to fall in place. While it may be too late for me it’s not for my 3 children and I became one of the “nutrition obsessed” moms in the eyes of others because I don’t want my children to go what I am going through. My kids are mot allowed “food” which comes with a toy but they don’t care anymore. They get excited about their fresh organic fruit smoothies. They are also excited about our small back yard garden and they are pointing out USDA organic labels when they see them in grocery stores:) I know it’s something no one should have to worry about because we should live in society where all food for human consumption is natural and organic without dangerous additives, artificial sweeteners and ingredients and GMOs but till we do I am keeping my kids informed and educated and trying to do my best in setting example. I would love to have the Vitaminix because I’ve heard that it releases more nutrients vs. conventional blenders. It would be also powerful enough to make them ice treats they would enjoy this summer. BTW Thanks for your blog and all of your amazing ideas. I really like your work.

Thank you for sharing this story, Romana! I’m so glad for everything that you pointed out, and that you’re raising your kiddos with respect for food, the Earth, and all things good. I completely concur… with pesticides and GMOs it almost feel futile. But I do try to buy organic to keep my family as healthy as I can. We belong to a local CSA; can’t get fresher than that! A vitamix indeed is the ideal kitchen tool and I’ve wanted one forever, but after buying all of the top notch food I find I have spent my budget, and so, yes, winning the vitamix would be a dream!

well, … I so NEED this , because of my new diet….allergic to 22 [new] foods =/ ….. husband makes smoothies 5 to 6 days/wk…blender already has 2 cracks in it =/ ….but, THIS VITAMIX can do SO much more….. so I can make my own smoothies w/ ‘harder’ veggies like beets, sweet potatoes, & added ginger…. my going gluten free/caesin free, yolk free [on & on ] is difficult enough. w/ fibro digestive issues… dadada ~ a VITAMIX would be a miracle of a gifting.

Winning would be so very awesome. Over the years I have given Vitamix as gifts but never thought I would use one. But I have learned to love smoothies and now that I know I can do almost anything with it – I too want one. I can’t believe I am thinking about becoming domestic. OH PLEASE please pick me

Been eating mainly vegetarian for some time now and wish I could afford one of these. I have a limited income because I am on disability but am hoping to change all that (& get off disability) with better diet!

Oooh! So glad you picked the Vitamix over the Le Creuset (I love LC but got a 9 quart one for mother’s day
Vitamix is the one thing I’ve been holding off on getting due to price (and a grain mill..). Thank you for the awesome raffle!!

My mom would LOVE this! She doesn’t have any money right now, much less spend money on an expensive blender, and is doing her best to take care of her husband who has a myriad of health problems as well as dementia. This would make it so much easier for her to make him healthy smoothies and soups. Especially since his throat closes up on him and he chokes on food a lot. Fingers crossed!!!

My Dad bought one so he could blend avocado seeds… and those buggers are hard!!! My blender makes my almond, cashew, coconut smoothies CHEWY. I still choke them down but I would LOVE one with the power to make “Smoothies” actually “Smooth”
::Keeping my fingers crossed::
😀

You are an amazing person for giving the product to one of your followers. The vitamix is a wonderful kitchen tool that is beneficial to any kitchen. I have always wanted one to assist my family with having a processed food free life, but could not justify the cost. Thank you for being the kind of person who is generous enough to share this.

I have always wanted to have a Vitamix, but they are SOOOOO expensive. Have watched the demos on QVC so many times….I have a Hamilton Beach juicer, but it doesn’t juice citrus very well. Would love to have this!!!

I would absolutely love one! I am tired of all of the added ingredients in almond milk and I’d love to start making my own. And nut butters, ice cream, many, many smoothies…. What would t I use it for?!

I would definitely use this all the time. My current blender is just so small, it hard to make many of the recipes. I have been slowly moving towards a homemade lifestyle, making whatever I can from scratch. This website has been a great help, you actually post information I can use. Thanks!

I was just looking at these the other day…and, wishing I had one. I bet these are amazing at making recipes that are healthy and yummy! I never seem to have enough hours in the day to make the recipes I would like to, but with this appliance, it sure would cut down on the time in the kitchen. Great product that would help make healthy recipes a snap to create!

Wow, my husband, son, and I have been switching over to a much healthier diet and lifestyle. We have been helping our parents and siblings as well as people in our community. Having a vitamix (totally unaffordable for us!) would be an absolute dream come true on our journey to increased health!

I would love to win these my 2 1/2 year old son and i have been making our smoothies and the like in a 20 year old blender…. the vitamix will definitely give us more options and will make everything we make smooth like its supposed to be =] crossing all our fingers and toes!
<3 Stephanie and Shane

I have done a lot of research, as I have been wanting a high speed blender to do green smoothies. Vitamix is one of the best!! I am trying to save up to get one, so it would be a pleasant surprise if I won one!!

P.S. I LOVE your blog and newsletter! Sent the link to my daughters who are trying to make healthy choices for themselves and their children! Thank you for all you do!!

I had a Vitamix for several months, until we sold it before we left the country for a while. Now that I’m back, we haven’t had the money to buy a new one, so we bought a “lesser” blender. Tonight I made a smoothie in it for my girls for a treat, and the results were, well, shall we say, less than pleasing. I was SOOOO longing for my Vitamix, and then I sat down to check out facebook and ran across this opportunity! Maybe it’s my lucky day!

I would love to win this for my mom. I’m slowly bringing her into the real food world. She always talks about buying a Vitamix but she hasn’t yet. I know she won’t spend the money on herself. Thanks for the chance to win.

I just saw a demo for these at our local Wegman’s last week *swoon* I love to make my son and myself smoothies, and all other kinds of homemade goodies and the possibilities with a Vitamix would be endless!

I have an old Vitamix unit that runs like a champ but does not does not have the features that are on current models. I love it and would not be without one. I would love to see a new one on my cabinet counter.

What a great give away! Whoever gets this is very blessed ! It will be a great tool for a more healthy life, I’d love to win this as I am making changes in my diet for varies reasons ! I’m 68 my husband 70 we need a tool like this to help us on our healthy journey!

I am eager to have my own VitaMix because I’ve tasted some good smoothies that my daughter in law makes with her VitaMix, using greens and other ingredients that just do not blend in my cheapie blender. I want to make similar healthy drinks and soup too.
Thanks!

I would love another vita mix. Due to an auto immune disease I started on the raw healthy diet making smoothies, healthy frozen fruit yogurt for my grand kids, raw desserts, almond milk, almond butter, salad dressings etc. I can’t live without my vita mix. I use it several times a day. I thank you for the chance to be entered in the drawing.

Wow! What an amazingly generous contest prize!! I have been really wanting a Vitamix but don’t have the money to make the splurge! I love your blog/Facebook page! Thanks for keeping us informed about healthy food options. You rock!! ❤

I’m a single mom and have wanted a vitamix forever! This would be so totally awesome I have a diabetic daughter and my son is at risk so I like to keep meals as healthy as possible and a vitamix would be right up my alley

This is something that I have wanted for at least 5 years and have not been able to afford….so….I make do with a lower priced blender and pray that it holds out till I can afford a Vitamix! Would love to have a blender strong enough to make nut butters, flours, and of course hot soup!

Would absolutely LOVE to have a Vitamix it would be a dream come true! Went Paleo a year ago and have lost 50 lbs so far! Would love to be able to make my own almond flour along with a million other recipes it would allow me to try.

I would love a vitamix to start making our own products like ketchup and peanut butter, etc so we can be healthier and more self sufficient and not have to buy these products at the store with preservatives and such.

Also, we are really trying to be healthier and eat better. My husband is a firefighter and had to have his yearly blood work done recently and it came back that he has pretty high cholesterol and could have a heart attack by 50 if we don’t get it under control. So this would be a great tool to help is get this under control for him, us, and those that depend on him as a firefighter.

I would love to have one of these! I am in need of a new blender and I have been reading about how awesome these are. Our family is trying to start eating healthy and eliminating all the poison we are use to consuming. This would give us a great start Thanks for doing this.. This will be really helpful to someone.

I do not have a blender, at all, and would LOVE to have one like this. I am slowly trying to change the way our family eats. It’s frustrating that one has to go through so much to eat healthy! We live in a small community in nw mn and there are not a lot of healthy choices at our local grocery. I’m trying hard!! Thanks for the great blog. It inspires me to keep trying!

Lindsey, you are such a sweet person for buying this Vitamix for one of us! God bless you and your family. I am anxious to make all these yummy goodies I see here on your site! I really appreciate what you are doing both in giving a Vitamix away as well as helping us all to make better food. Again, God bless you!!! Lisa

Great choice for the 20,000 likes!! No matter how many times you do this giveaway, we, your fans, will not complain. Its going to be a long month wait to see who wins this. By the way, Im so happy with your blog, better than any magazine out there.

What an extremely generous and awesome give away!! WOW!
What wouldn’t I use it for is more the question!! With 3 children under 10 and me and the husband trying to eat healthy and fresh the VitaMix would be an incredible and beneficial deluxe kitchen tool!

I try to eat a lot of real food. (Make accomodations for hubby, though.) I would like to try juicing. I’ve been following you on facebook and just found you on pinterest. Thanks for doing the giveaway!

Having a Vitamix would make cooking for my grain-free family so much easier. We changed our diet to help heal my ASD son, and it is working beautifully to manage his symptoms. Making our own flour substitutes could really save us some money, to start with, and I would love to put the Vitamix to use in so many other ways. This is a great giveaway! Thank you!

I have 45 lbs to lose after having thyroid issues. Now that it is under control I really need to go on a juice and or smoothie diet. Also am wanting to make my own butters and milks. Would be so much healthier. This blender would be an awesome blessing for this girls kitchen.

My chiropractor swears by Vitamix! He always has his ‘green drink’–even when it is purple or red! When I saw him this morning, he was a little ‘off’. When I asked if everything was okay, he said he broke his Vitamix and wasn’t happy with the ‘green drink’ that morning as it was too chunky. I make mine with a standard blender, but would love to have one of these instead!

Hi! I’d love to win the Vitamix, as I’m making more and more foods from scratch but I don’t own any blenders or food processors and am wanting to make smoothies as well! Thank you for offering such a generous gift.

What wouldn’t I do w/ a Vitamix!?!?!? Not only for family dinners: soups, condiments, homemade flours, smoothies…list goes on and on… I have a severely handicapped child and provide respite care special needs individuals – the Vitamix would be amazing at preparing appropriate size, texture and dietary requirements for not only my child, but my extended special needs family!

I have wanted a vitamix for so long! I have been drinking 2 smoothies a day for the past year and even have my 3 year old drinking them. Having the vitamix would open up a whole new world of possibilities for my family to continue raw eating.

Would love to win this so I could surprise my teen-age daughters! They are finally seeing the light to healthy eating!! Woohoo They would love the vitamix! Something I coukd never afford to buy being an only parent.

Over the past 3 years of making smoothies and other healthy mixed beverages, I’ve gone through a number of blenders and blending systems, and none have held up. I’d love to try a Vitamix and see what it can do!

I refuse to buy just your average blender (have killed two over the years) and I’m saving to buy this one someday. No point in wasting my money with anything else. I am a real foodie who wants to make nut butters, sauces, ice creams, soups you name it, this blender can do it.

aaah.. I so badly want a Vitamix but can’t afford it right now.. It’s awesome machine and you can whip up heatlhy food within minutes.. and I’d appreciate it so much if I can get one. Thank you for doing this giveaway.

Ive started a home business working to help moms learn how to cook REAL and WHOLE foods. There are things I want to try that I just don’t have the kitchen equipment to do. I’m still working with a bowl and spoon, a grinder, and was blessed with a kitchen aid for Christmas. A vitamix would make a world of difference in learning how to cook a wider range of foods that will help my family and hopefully help other families too. My passion is healthy food for kids, nourishing traditions, fermented foods, real foods.

I have been using the same blender since college, and it’s really not cutting it. I would love to win a Vitamix! I have been wanting one for years, but unfortunately it is not in my price range. So many possibilities with this thing!

Not only will the Vitamix help me replace my 26 year old blender, mini food processor, and possibly my juicer, it will also enable me to be more creative when it comes to cooking real, whole foods for my family. I love trying recipes like yours and then sharing them with the people I meet at health fairs who are trying to get and keep their bodies healthy!

I am trying to be a healthier me and create a more natural and clean way of eating for myself and my family. I know of so many ways that this mixer would benefit my family and I have heard nothing but rave reviews of the Vitamix!

I used to own one and gave it away years ago to someone who needed it more than myself. Would love to own one now but just haven’t had enough greenies to go purchase it, due to helping so many other individuals try to attain health. I miss having a vitamix and believe I would take better care of myself if I had one. However, if there is someone else that needs it more than myself, then I hope they win. Thanks!

I’m dedicated to feeding my family (husband and two kids, 9 and 12) REAL food. I do what I can with standard kitchen tools, but for years I have yearned for a VitaMix so I can step up the quality and types of foods I prepare. =)

I would love to win this, it would help me achieve a weight loss goal I set for myself, by making it quick easy and hassle free to get breakfast on my way out the door for work. It would encourage me to make a smoothie for a snack instead of reaching for sweets 😉 … it would also help to broaden my skills in making things at home instead.
I may be a new reader but I am thoroughly enjoying your website

I have had a magic bullet for about a year, but it is giving me so many problems – leaks everywhere and doesn’t make everything as smooth as i would like. i use the magic bullet at least once every day, but it is just not what i need! I have been researching different Vitamixes and prices…

I have been on a quest to eat better and provide good foods for my family. As part of this I have been making smoothies and the family has loved them. Love the idea of making all my own stuff and buying from the store less.

I own a manual auger style juicer and altho I love it’s simplicity, it does not give me much juice(unless I have an hour to feed itty bits in at a time). I have wanted a Vitamix for as long as I can remember. Hoping it’s my time now. <3

I would love a Vitamix because I work two jobs, and have severe food intolerances and chemical/preservative intolerances. Often I get so busy and wrapped up in work that I forget to eat, and only eat 400-600 calories a day. I would love to be able to make frozen one-serving bags of smoothie ingredients to keep in the freezer, and dump and blend on the go.

I’ve wanted one of these for quite a while but haven’t been able to justify the price tag. Now there are more and more things I’d love to make with it: smoothies, soups, nut butters and freshly ground grains.

We have been following the paleo lifestyle for about six months now & its changed our lives for the better! I’ve beaten my migraines, chronic fatigue and joint pain and my husband and I lost a total of 40lbs together!!! I have been coveting a vitamix for at least three years now and would be so grateful to win one to amp up the paleo diet! Ww recently moved from fort Lewis, Wa to Fort Benning, Ga and will move again in less than 9 months when I’m 9 months pregnant so I’ll tell you how amazing this would be!! What an awesome giveaway and good luck to all!!

I could make smoothies for my family and all the wonderful recipes you posted! My boys love smoothies, I have a single serve blender so I have to reuse it 4 times just to make smoothies for the family, a vitamix would be a dream come true!

If I were to win this Vitamix it would be a sincere blessing. I am a missionary and therefore do tons of volunteer work all over the world with orphaned and at risk children etc. I raise my own support and therefore cannot invest in a vitamin. The reason I would benefit from one is because I am currently overcoming (I say this with optimism) a rare skin condition caused by an auto-immune disease type of thing. I know if I were to have a vitamix it would help me maintain a more “raw” lifestyle allowing my body to get the nutrients it needs to help heal! 😀

I have a Vita Mix, but I would love to surprise my daughter with this as a gift. I know my grandson & granddaughter would love to have smoothies from the VM. I would love that for them because with the Vita Mix, my daughter could add kale & spinach and other healthy veggies & from experience, I know they would not know what they were drinking but would enjoy it.

I would Love to win this Vitamix! My previous blender failed on me and didn’t have half the power of the Vitamix. I’ve seen the Vitamix demonstrated several times over the past several years and am in awe of all it is capable of doing. I think it’s awesome you are purchasing a Vitamix to give away. I’ve entered many contests trying to win a Vitamix, but have yet to be the Lucky winner. If I had a Vitamix I would make homemade soups, smoothies, and ice cream to start.

Would love to have one of these!! I am trying really hard to get me and my beloved husband to eat right and to get rid of everything that is bad for us. This would be handy to make all the smoothies and soups for us and other meals. Thank you!

oh my gosh, you are so generous!! the vitamix is the elusive love we all really crave…your willingness to spread the love and help one of us meet our soulmate appliance is inspiring!!! thank you for this and ALL you do!!
namaste!

I would love to win this vita mix, i was asking my husband if he could buy it for me last christmas, but we didnt have the money because its very expensive, but i would love to be able to make healthy juices!!!! hope i get it!!!

With a Vitamix, I would be able to prepare more nutritious foods for my family – I would no longer have to rely on packaged/processed condiments, and I could save money by buying seasonally and in bulk!

This would be a perfect giveaway for me!! I make smoothies every morning since I’m a college student without time for a full breakfast! My blender is probably from the 80s (a hand me down of course) & this would be perfect for my healthy lifesyle!!

We have a Ninja and well since I have started making our baby food fresh it has killed it. I’ve also started making things like our own peanut butter as well. I have heard great things about this mixer being able to do so much but we have not had the spare money to try it and see how it really works. So it would be nice to win one. thank you for all your wonderful info and recipes. I have seen them on my facebook through other postings. Have a great month!

I have never had such a wonderful item in my life as this Vitamix blender. I am 70 years old and never could afford one. I hope that I am the winner of this wonderful prize. Thank you for this opportunity.

It would be great to be able to make smoothies for my family without having to stop every few seconds and rearrange the fruit!!!!
Thank you so much for the give a way. Good luck to everyone and I am looking forward to navigating thru your site.

I have switched my diet drastically due to endometriosis and infertility among other health problems. The vitamix would be so helpful in many recipes and snacks-the more I delve into healthy eating the more important it seems!

Winning a Vitamix would save me so much time and stress making meals and treats for my family in our whole foods lifestyle. My current blender is just awful and requires me to constantly stop to rearrange the food inside and is beyond a pain in the neck to clean. My birthday is also this month, it would be a pretty amazing gift

I really want this because I cook and bake everything from scratch and my 7 year old cheap blender doesn’t cut it, I need something that can do the work of a food processor and blender (it can’t even handle ice). It would be especially helpful with recipe creation and trying new recipes for my family!

Let see…whay would I want this blender… because KitchenAid didn’t seem to think anyone would want to blend up their own nut butters, herb rubs and sauces at home. There simply is NO other blender! OH, and it’s my birthday this month, just sayin’.

Thank you for this giveaway; it’s so welcomed and timely. My husband and I have committed to living and eating cleaner, and we know that winning a Vitamix would go a long way in helping us succeed. Crossing fingers! Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

I would love a Vitamix. My sister just got one and loves it! My daughter has new health issues and our family has recently started a eating a new way. The Vitamix would help me so much with this new effort. It’s hard! Your website has been very helpful too, thanks!!

I would love to have this blender to make prepping and cooking REAL food easier. When I make my own nut butters, my blender now smells like it’s going to burn up and that’s with taking breaks….poor blender.

I’ve recently entered the world of smoothies and paleo. My old blender isn’t up to the job, so I’m thankful for this opportunity to win a top of the line blender! Thanks for your awesome site! I’m learning a lot.

I have made the switch from vegetarian to vegan several months ago. I love how great I feel, but I find a lot of vegan recipes require something higher powered like a Vitamix. I would *love* to win this!

I would absolutely love one!! I know it would help my family and me eat more raw vegetables and broaden our diet with healthy concoctions. I love the creamy texture of things well blended! And, it’s so easy to clean!! Thank you for the opportunity to win. A most generous gesture.

Thank you for this offer. I’ve eyes the Vitamix for MANY years and have never had the funds to purchase one. My current blender is one I bought for .50 cents at yard sale nearly 10 years ago. It’s been great and I will continue with it for the next many years, if necessary.

If my name is selected for the machine, I will welcome using it for mixing, “juicing”, grinding grain and more.

So excited for another opportunity to win something…I’m waiting for my little blender to finally breathe its last and force me to purchase a new one…no way I could actually afford this blender, so winning it would be amazing!

I have dreamts for a while about having a vitamix! I am on this new health kick due to some health issues and a vitamix would make such a difference to cooking for time as i am also very busy! And when i have off days i usually can only drink green smoothies!
Thankyou very much for this giveaway!!

I would absolutely love to win this Vitamix. I’ve wanted one for the longest time, especially now with a daughter who’s finally eating table foods this would be one of the best additions to our kitchen. There’s just so much you can do with them, I know I’d use mine every single day.

I JUST had an extensive FB discussion about how much I want a Vitamix! Everyone that I know that have one LOVE it. Winning this one would really help my family on our journey to eating healthier (mostly whole foods).
Thanks so much for your posts!

Looking to start on the GAPS diet to try and deal with a leaky gut, and have been told that I NEED to get a Vitamix, but I’ve been hesitant due to the cost. It would be wonderful to win one. Thanks for the chance.

Would like to win because I am getting up there (72) and my nutrition is so important to my health + I replaced my blender’s blade and gasket not long ago, but it not the same and I can’t afford another one.

Thank you for having such a great site and offering such a fantastic token of your belief in great health.

I have wanted a Vitamix for so so long, but it has not fit in the budget so far. I have Celiac and have to prepare almost everything that I eat at home. I also have to take lots of vitamins since my intestine is damaged and not absorbing as well as it should. I hate swallowing all these pills and would love to be able to put then in a smoothie with some ice, so I would not get hungry before I can finish a nice early morning walk (It is too darn hot in Texas to walk any other time of day!)

I think it’s a wonderful multi-purpose blender. It’s a great way to start a new healthy life for me and my family. It has always been my dream to own one. They are not only very powerful but also make a beautful addition to any kitchen.

I would love to win this for my daughter who is planning to get pregnant soon an will make her own baby food when the baby gets old enough. Thank you for making this giveaway available! I love your website!

There’s so many things I’ve been dreaming of doing that require a Vitamix, & I’d love to have the energy that comes from having enough easily prepared & absorbed nutrients. It would make my life to have one!

Wow! You are paying for this yourself? What a wonderful and giving nature! Thank you for the opportunity to win one of these. I have one of these on my wish list. I’ve recently started to cut out gluten and sugar in our diet. It is so hard! A friend shared a smoothie made with one of these when I was visiting and was soo amazed at how well it works to remove all of the bits and pieces my regular blender leaves. Sooo want one of these for my family! Thank you!

Why WOULDN’T I want this amazing machine?? Smoothies ala Dr. Wahls, mixing my own lotions, fermented ketchup (hello! I need to make you STAT!), and a million other reasons. I doubt I would ever go a day without using it, and would probably use it 3 times a day most days!

I would love this blender, because this year I have gone through a , vingtage Oster, Kitchen Aid, and a Magic Bullet. I think a Vitamix is the only thing that can handle my smoothie, salad dressing & pesto production!

Every time Vitamix does a “show” at Costco, I get to see and taste what it can do. I’d love to replace my blender too… It’s on it’s last legs and with baby #3 due in less than a week it would be great for homemade baby food.

I’ve been looking into getting a juicer, not only to support my own health and weight loss, but also for my toddler. He is very selective about what vegetables he eats-in other words, he does not knowingly eat vegetables-so I have to sneak them in creatively! A juicer would be perfect for that! I also want to help my mom out in her journey to live a healthier lifestyle.

This would be sweet to win ! I have been looking at all the juicers, trying to figure out which one would be better. Well I’m still not sure. If I won the Vitamix that would solve that issue. : ) I’m into the smoothies and want to branch out to the juicing now. I feel I would certainly be able to get most if not all the vitamins and minerals doing juicing. Best Luck to everyone on the prize !

I would want a vitamix because it is both a workhorse and a powerhouse, the things that it can accomplish while still being only one machine are incredible! It can easily be used every day even in the laziest of kitchens! I would make so many incredible things with it!

I’ve been into organic gardening and eco-friendly sustainable living for a few years now and the Vitamix is the SUPREME kitchen tool which I’ve been drooling over for many, many years! Would LOVE to have one!

I love your blog and your giveaways too – keep up the good work!. I would love to have a vitamix for smoothies – I make a lot of them because I am in acupuncture school and it is a good way to get great nutrition without having to cook a whole meal when I am studying!

I’ve been wanting a vitamix for ever and hope to be the lucky winner. So many great uses for healthy living!!! Thank you so much for offering this contest. Whoever the winner is will be very grateful!! Good luck to all!

I had a hand-me-down Vitamix that has seen better days. I have to have it repaired but don’t have it in the budget. A new one would be awesome! Thank you so much for providing this gift. You are so generous!

These are awesome! I have been wanting one since I got hooked on kale smoothies while staying with my mom, who owns a Vitamix. Thanks for the great giveaways! (and of course the awesome blog posts and recipes!)

Would love to own a Vitamix. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and over the last few years, I have
learned I am gluten intolerant. I need to make a healthier
lifestyle for myself and my kids, since the autoimmune disorder I have are genetic. Thank you for all of your great homemade healthy ideas!

I have wanted a Vitamix for years. My brother bought one over 25 years ago and it still works like new! Everything he makes is out of this world tasty!! Soup, bread, grains, the list goes on and on.Thinking with the Vitamix, I could do away with a lot of other appliances.

I would love to win this vitamix so that I could continue my journey of healthy eating and living a healthy lifestyle; plus is would just be down-right awesome to be able to try SO many new recipes with this baby!

Thank you for offering this Vitamix giveaway! Many may feel it is pricey, but I know it is worth every penny! Thank you also for your interesting and informative posts! Especially love the healthy recipes and tips!

I’d love to win this Vita Mix!
I have a home daycare, Kid Planet Daycare and serve the children organic non processed foods. Having a Vita Mix would really expand the kid friendly food I could prepare. mmmmm

I’m a full-time college student with a full-time job, juicing enables me to sustain a healthy (but busy) lifestyle! I’ve been hoping to receive a vitamix for graduation, though I hope it doesn’t take that long!

I would love a Vitamix! My sister in law has one and she can’t stop raving about it. She is really into making everything from scratch, and I am getting more into that with my family. A Vitamix would really help out with that.

WOWW I can’t believe that I could win a Vitamax. I currently make smoothies in my (what was supposed to be amazing) ninja blender, but it doesn’t do the trick. it leaves chunks and a lot of big pieces which have made me lay off my smoothie making for a while. I would love to own a Vitamix, I’ve read nothing but great things about it, and I really want to improve mine and my families’ health.

I have just gotten into organic cooking. I have been eating local foods for a while now. I am a stay at home mother of four. My step-soon was recently diagnosed as an Aspey which prompted a move to look at the food we we’re eating. My current blender is working but our goal is to have a Vitamix. We’re on a tight budget as my husband is retired military , I’m a stay at home mother who homeschools. Would be great to win one!

Family smoothies, soups, ice “cream”, nut milks, cashew cheese, homemade ketchups and other sauces :), pureed kale to freeze into pucks for smoothies, and all the other garden related tasks as things come into season! This would be a godsend

Currently a “poor” student and so I have been eye balling the VITAMIX for a while now. I love to live healthy and learn about all things health. This lesson didn’t come easy, I first got sick with some incurable rechard disease and now I treat my body like a temple. Thumbs up if I do win.

my husband and i are working on losing weight. we wanted to make some smoothies but our blender burnt out. the motor smelled like burning plastic and it just stopped running. this has happened to me before as well. with that, i asked my friends for blender recommendations and i uncovered a cult dedicated to the worship of the vitamix. i am a new convert now. i want one so badly! but they are quite expensive, so here’s hoping i win! yippee!

I’ve seen the Vitamix tons of times in stores and advertised, but it’s just not in our budget right now. Winning one would be amazing! I’ve heard so many stories about how wonderful the vitamix is and I’d love to try it myself. :)Thanks for the giveaway!

My husband and I have been wanting a Vitamix for a long time now, and walk by it in Costco on almost every visit. We are hoping to save up for one in a couple months, but this would be great if we could win this!

I have always been very health conscious, but after needing two surgeries during my last pregnancy my health, and taking care of my families health, have really moved into the spotlight for me. I would love this tool for making delicious, healthy foods, but with our massive medical bills it will be years until we can afford one.

I drink a green smoothie almost every day. As well, it would be awesome to be able to make soups, nut milks, what have you, right in my own kitchen, with a VitaMix. Thank you for your blog, and for the opportunity to participate in this very generous giveaway!

I want this so that I can make green smoothies and have them be supersmooth! I am okay with them a little chuncky… but for the health of my family, they have only liked them when they have been made in demos for vitamix and were super smooth and delicious!

VitaMix
I’ve heard so many great things. I currently use a Magic Bullet only because I’m the only one who drinks smoothies. However, I’ve heard how versatile Vitamix is, and I’m slowly transitioning our household to a more healthier, and cleaner eating behavior. This would be perfect in helping us do that!

I have tried many blenders and I am not happy with the results. I have had smoothies made from a vitamix from friends and it sure does have a different taste and texture. I would love to add this kitchen appliance to my everyday heathy diet.

I would be incredibly grateful if I won a vitamix! I have a weak cheap blender that smells like burning rubber every time I use it. I’ve been wishing for a nicer blender for months because we live in AZ and in these summer temps of 107-118 F it is nice to blend smoothies and popcycles for my kids!

My parents have had their vitamix for over 15 yrs and it still works. I bought the knockoff, ninja brand since it was so much cheaper. Every time I make smoothies, my husband always comments that he wishes that we would of spent the money on the vitamix. Anybody looking to get a blender, please don’t waste your money on others and just get the vitamix!!! Would so love to win this!

This Vitamix has been on my “I wish” list for years. Less processed food, more wholesome REAL food, and smoothies my step-daughters would drink – without sugar and dairy in them – that’s what I would do with it!

I would love this mixer because I prepare meals every day for myself and my grandchildren. I make breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also make kefir and this would help with the fruit/veggie prep for the kefir and fermentation!

This would help me make dairy free milks for my family (who cannot have dairy) and to replace my current blender that is missing part of the lid due to a mishap while making coconut milk! Also, with a baby due early next year it would help me prepare quick smoothies, sauces, and soups and help my focus more on the important things (spending time with the kids) then slaving away in the kitchen!

This would be very supportive of my getting back on track with my own optimum well being plan which shifted off course 3.5 years ago, when our Mom transitioned, and I became a full time instant caregiver to our Dad, whose journeying through Alzheimer’s. Now, that his journey has moved into another phase requiring additional, I am rebuilding my own optimum well being – on all levels – back up to where it had been and beyond. Thanks, in advance, for being blessed beginning to my “take two” exponentially. Peace…Pat

A Vitamix is probably one of the best pieces of equipment for a home to have in order to eat healthy … and easy. I’ve been limping along on a wimpy blender (OK, so I get some lumps in my smoothie, etc.) but I could use the Vitamix for sooooo many other things too. Thanks for the chance to try and win it.

Oh, and I want one because my blender is useless. We’ve switched to a whole food plant based diet, and would love to incorporate smoothies, especially for my picky 5 year old. That’s why I want a Vitamix.

Yay! I have wanted one of these for years! Being low enlisted in the military with a family of four doesn’t allow for being able to buy things like this. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac’s and have been having a hard time finding tasty alternatives for things as basic as tomatoe soup when I am sick and don’t have energy to make it from scratch. I love this site. It is so helpful.

I would love to own a Vitamix! Just like everyone else, I’ve wanted one for a long time. Changing our food habits would be a breeze with this machine. I could declutter my kitchen as well. Benefits on every level! Thanks so much for offering this chance to win one!

It’s so nice of you to give away such a great blender! I know someone with a vita-mix and I am sooo jealous! I’d love to be able to make nut butters quickly and thick smoothies in less than 15 minutes (which is currently how long it takes with my cheap blender), and super smooth raw ice cream. There’s just so much you can do with it!

Thank you for such an informative website! I’m not even sure how I came across it but I’m so happy that I did. It’s awesome that you are having a draw to celebrate your subscriber base…feels like it gives me a bit of insight into who is behind Homemade Mommy.

I have a gluten allergy and have switched to a 70% vegan diet. Tremendous difference in how I feel 90% better. A new vitamix would help me creatively make delish food for my new lifestyle. I think if you go the vegan route, you need equipment like a vitamin, food processor, dehydrator etc etc otherwise You will die of boredom, like how I am now. My cheap blender really sucks and its the only machine I have.

Thank you so much for the inspiration and the giveaway! I would so love to be able to make green smoothies, coconut milk ice cream, cashew cheese and other treats again since my Vitamix 3600 broke. Having an even newer model, well – that would be amazing!

I’m trying to get my family off the endless supply of processed food they seem to be addicted to. My husband has high cholesterol as does my 13-year old daughter. My older daughter is also showing signs of auto-immune difficulties and I think getting all the chemicals and man made crap out of our diet would do wonders for them both. The vita mix would be a health- saver for our family!
Love your site and ideas!

I am so thankful for this chance to win a Vitamix! I have been trying so hard to keep myself and my family healthy. Having a vitamix is something we aren’t able to afford right now and having one would so serve us!

I have suffered from psoriasis for about 20 years. Since I have been eliminating grain from my diet, my skin is clearing. The Vitamix would help me stay on track with my progress and allow me to show my two year old daughter how to eat healthy for life!

We are transitioning to a plant based diet and it’s been a challenge to do this with two little ones. A vitamix would make a huge difference in the nutrition I could sneak into their foods and make our foods much more pleasurable. Its just not a purchase that I could justify as a stay home mom.

We have an older vitamix. We make a lot of healthy smoothies, sauces, and desserts with it. If we had another new vitamix, we probably would give it to my sister, who started eating more healthfully a year ago, and needs a decent blender.

Thank you very much for this giveaway! I would LOVE to win a Vitamix! I use my blender almost daily for cooking. Unfortunately, it’s old and on its last leg. I don’t have the funds right now to buy a new one, so this would be a dream come true!

So glad you got a Vitamix! Went 80% raw foods about a year ago and a Vitamix would so help me in my endeavor to get nutritionally healthy. Been wanting one myself…so hope I win and will share my recipes if I do! Love your site.

I’ve been wanting a Vitamix for years. I make so many things that require blender, food processor, emulsion blender and so on. This would eliminate help me eliminate so many things and free up some space in my kitchen! After going through this blog, I’d love to try EVERYTHING (not kidding)! Quite an awesome universal tool to have, if you could afford it. thanks for the giveaway! good luck to everyone.

Hi! I have been on the hunt for how to win a vitamix for some time now. I own a hand-me-down blender currently that gets stuck and pretty much fails every time I want to use it. Unfortunately, I cannot afford a nice blender on my own and would greatly appreciate this!! :)Thanks so much!

I am in the process of developing my business plan for a GF production kitchen. I’m a baker and finally at the age of 44 I think I’m celiac and other then changing careers I would have to work in a GF kitchen, which there are not many of in my neck of the woods, so I want to open my own. It would mean a lot to have a vitamix, I would be able to make my own GF flours, which would save me money because I would just have to buy the grains. I really do appreciate you giving everyone this chance and I’m grateful that you take the time to help educate all of us who are trying to nurish ourselves the best way possible. Thank you for being you!

I would love to win this for many reasons. My hubby just started his diet/exercise routine. He’s not the type to exercise or do anything healthy. & this Vita Mix will defo help us with shakes, smoothies, etc..

I would LOVE to have this vitamix!! Im recovering from an ED and I’m now 80% raw vegan. Smoothies, pureed soups, and homemade sauces/dips are a huge part of my diet. My blender is on its last days and i know im going to need something this powerful to replace it!

I’d LOVE to win this Vitamix. I have been trying to get on the healthy path by going with the Paleo diet! This Vitamix would be so awesome to have for my morning smoothies, sauces, soups..ect. I can definitely not afford this machine on my own so if you choose me as the winner, I will be forever grateful!!
I love your site and all of your awesome recipes! yumm!
xoxo
Diana

I have ibs and other digestion issues, and I’m only 25. winning a vitamix would help with my diet and the future healthy diet of my family. It will help
With a busy schedule, which triggers ibs on occasion. Thank you for your blog and this awesome chance of winning one!

I have been trying to bake healthier because I love sweet but need to lose weight. Unfortunately so many healthier dessert recipes require the use of a food processor or blender and we don’t have one. The best ones are really pricey.

I have been working on becoming more healthy. I want to make my own homemade butters, smoothies, and coconut milk which I would need a Vitamix to do. I have already started making my own homemade yogurt. Since working on Rae Hatherton’s Alive plan, I have lost 26 pound and many inches. I hope to continue with the way I am eating better.

I made the horrible mistake a couple years ago of going for a cheaper blender, the Kitchen Aid, and have regretted it ever since. But I will not likely have the money in any foreseeable future for the VitaMix (homeschooling 4 kids bc we are still in a not so great area bc of my husband’s job, a baby daughter who is allergic to everything, yea the list goes on and on!). This would pretty much make my decade. I never win anything.

I make green smoothies at least once a day with my sad little $40 blender. I’ve been eyeing a Vitamix, but don’t have room in the budget at the moment. I’d love to win. Great way to get my fruits and veggies and stay healthy.

I have wanted a Vitamix for as long as I can remember due to its versatility and excellent quality. Also, since I’ve been going wheat-free, some way of preparing food in a different way would be spectacular!

I would be super excited to win this! I make smoothies for my 2 year old every morning, she asks for them before heading off to daycare where she gets breakfast! I would love to make some soups and other delicious treats that my current blender would not be able to handle!

I need this. I need to make the change. I want to walk the talk for my kids and need the right tools to make it happen. What a blessing it would be to my whole family to have this! Thanks for spreading healthy sunshine to those around you!

I’ve been wanting a Vitamix for a while now! I love a kitchen tool that has multiple uses: smoothies in the summer, soups in the winter, sauces, desserts… I can try out a whole bunch of recipes that I haven’t been able to try!

I would LOVE to win this, it would make such a huge difference for my family & we really can’t afford to buy one at this point in our lives, so winning this giveaway would mean so much to us! It would really make it so much easier for us to make healthy meals for our family

Would LOVE a vitamix. Our ninja blender just doesn’t cut it for making nut butters and smoothies and purée ing in general. Thank you for hosting this amazing giveaway. Love your blog and hope to win. : )

I have been researching and eyeing the Vitamix for about 3 months now. This would be beyond awesome to win! I have 4 littles and another on the way- we need this to streamline time in the kitchen!! Thanks so much for the chance!!!

Winning this would mean so much to me, & for my family! We could never afford one on our own, & it would be an amazing tool to use to create many healthy, nutritious meals & drinks, for the whole family! It would encourage us to make healthy soups, coconut milk, baby food purees, smoothies, breads & doughs, & the list goes on and on! Thank you SO much for this opportunity!

I need a Vitamix! We are on our second Nurtribullet and it just isn’t cutting it! We use it too much and need something a lot more powerful! From smoothies to homemade lotion, we use it for everything! My family needs this!

I love my Vitamix. If I win this I plan to give it to my sister who has been struggling for a couple of years with an unknown disease that has been causing pain throughout her body. She is finally looking to food for relief. I would love to be able to give her this along with some healing recipes!

Having a Vitamix would be a dream come true for me. We try to live as close to the land as possible. Make our own maple syrup in the late winter, plant a huge garden each year and put up LOTS of food in the fall which we store in our root cellar of our newly renovated root cellar in our house which was originally built just after the civil war.(The rest of the renovation is still in process!) I would use the Vitamix to process the whole foods I use daily and for reproducing the yummy food recipes that I find in your wonderful site!

Have heard so much about Vitamix. Have had several blenders through the years and so disappointed in the performance one way or another. Surely like to win a Vitamix to see if they are all that is promised? Great give away!..

Would love to win this! With baby due in August, it would be great to be able to make my own, healthy, baby food, in addition to smoothies, homemade salsa, and the other awesome ideas you have posted on your site! This will help me make the foods for my family very nutritious and, of course, homemade!

I would like the Vitamix because I am working hard to do more from scratch to heal my family and we will be going through GAPS beginning in the next month. After my past 9 surgeries now, and medical bills stacking up, I need to catch a little of that luck in my kitchen. Here’s to everyone who is hoping to find this at the end of their rainbow! Best of luck everyone.

I would love a Vitamix because all I have is a little 3 cup food processor and there are so many, many whole foods recipes I could make. I LOVE smoothies and I know they would be fabulous with the Vitamix!!!

I would love to win this. I just have a simple ninja blender right now but would love something more high tech! It would help so much with my smoothies and canning! Not to mention the baby food that I am going to have to start making!

Since I have recently (in the past 3 months) found out that I am extremely allergic to anything soy, I’m relearning how to make everything from scratch and using tools such as the Vitamix will help tremendously.

I would love a vitamix! I cook for 7 people at a time and try to do it with as little processed food as possible. I would love to make my own ketchup. To make my own everything!! Have wanted one of these for a very long time!

I would LOVE to have a Vitamix because of all it can do! But, the thing that specifically comes to mind is my soft serve ice cream I like to make that has burned up two blenders! I can of full fat organic coconut milk, 2 -3 frozen banana chunks, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch of salt, 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup! Garnish with pecans! So good, but killing my blenders!

I have always wondered about the vitamix and what it could actually accomplish. From the posts above and what I have read about it, it sounds like it can do so much more than just a blender. What a nice gift this would make.

WOW ! How great that you are giving away a Vitamix.I have been coveting one ever since I was diagnosed with 3 different autoimmune disorders last year and have been changing my diet in an effort to combat them in a more natural way than the mainstream meds that have been prescribed.(Your site has been a huge help with this.) A Vitamix would be a true blessing so I am keeping my fingers crossed!

I have been striving over the last year to make almost everything my family uses daily homemade. From laundry detergent and facial scrubs to homemade bread. I am getting remarried to a man that has blessed my children and I beyond words. This would be a great addition to my healthy, homemade, lifestyle to increase my family’s overall wellness. Thank you for the consideration. I love getting your emails and visiting your site for new recipies and homemade chemical/process free ideas keep up the great work!

Such an awesome giveaway…I would want to make nutbutters, smoothies, flours, and juice. My son loves juice but doesn’t really like it made in my magic bullet or my regular blender so I would like to get away from buying juice and making my own with organic fruits and veggies.

I have been dreaming of owning a vitamix and been saving up my pennies to buy one! I want one to make almond milk and my own coconut butter. But we use our blender every day to make green smoothies and sauces and such. Couldn’t live without it!

I took a “Healthy Eating Bootcamp” class – basically a group workout followed by healthy whole food cooking demos and tastings. She used her vitamix for EVERYTHING. Now, I’ve had pretty good luck with most things with the kitchen gadgets I’ve got, but the green smoothies just didn’t measure up using a regular blender – they are flecked with tiny chunks of green instead of smooth. Tasted okay, but the consistency was so so, and they didn;t go over so well with the kids. So like many others here, smoothies are the first thing that comes to mind. I’d also love to make a creamy veggie soup, too.

I’m trying to grow all my own food and can most of it and this would be a great addition to making pesto, ketchup, pasta sauce, tomato paste/ soup, salsa, jams, and hot sauce. And anything else I can think of Lol.

Oh, Vitamix! How I have longed for thou! This machine would greatly enhance my grab and go lifestyle. My little one and myself could be healthier- therefore, happier! My fingers are crossed and my toes too. Smoothies, nut butters….and maybe the occasional grown up drink treat with the gals? 😉

I would love a Vitamix – I have been moving gradually toward a healthier diet over the last few years. A recent 2 week raw detox (just simple whole raw fruits and vegetables)has cemented my love of raw food and I’m keen to continue my health journey. Unfortunately, I am a full time research student (not allot of cash to splash!) so have been unable to afford the the high power blender necessary when creating yummy nut butters/milks, raw warm soups and super smooth smoothies. I have done my research and Vitamix looks by far the best blender going! Plus, the sooner I can give my tired old blender a break the better 😛

I’ve seen this blender used on the Food Network and have longed to have one. I make green smoothies everyday along with homemade soups in the fall and winter. I couldn’t afford one of these so I hope I win. But if not, whoever gets this will be truly blessed! Thank you for being so generous and even more than that for supplying us with such a great site full of recipes for healthy eating.
